I'll be honest, I think drone warfare is cowardly.
WTF Ricter, are you a moron? I'll let you take that back before commenting more....

Have at it. I would have been one of the British, calling the American colonists cowards for hiding behind trees and buildings, too. I'm not a moron, but maybe I'm a relic.

but the americans won...Only fools think there is some sort of honor code in war.
Drone warfare deserves great accolades, the idea that you get the other guy without putting yourself in harms way. It's smart, it's better, and it's just the next advancement anyway.
I tell you what, I bet we could arrange to drop you in with a sword, then you can feel better about things.

Allowing 9-11 due to his incompetence...
where do you get information? I don't much want to go there. The US intelligence services very muchly wanted to get OBL in the '90's. Weird assed ideas from the leftist brains of the Clinton admin made up rules that the FBI and CIA were not allowed to talk to each other. Yemen tried to GIVE OBL to the US and the WH's response was "we don't have a way to take him" or something equally ridiculous.. Clinton's policy was to do a news blackout on the words "terror" and "terrorist" and make up fantastic coverups when planes got shot out of the sky... he kicked the can down the road with regard to the terrorist issues... I think we're kicking the can down the road with regard to Iran's nuclear thingy, the astounding amount of debt of the US public sector, the collapsing economy, all of it..

Bin Ladin Determined To Strike in US
Bin Ladin Determined To Strike in US was the President's Daily Brief prepared by the Central Intelligence Agency and given to U.S. President George W. Bush on August 6, 2001. The brief warned of terrorism threats from Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda 36 days before the September 11, 2001 attacks.
Some arguments have focused on clear warnings in this letter, specifically that:
the title was Bin Ladin Determined To Strike in US
a large attack was planned
the attack would be on United States soil
target cities of attacks included New York City and Washington, D.C.
the World Trade Center bombing was explicitly mentioned
hijacked plane missions were anticipated
people living in, or traveling to, the United States were involved
recent surveillance of federal buildings in New York was witnessed."

All of that was known under the Clinton administration.
As to the title of the thread, wouldn't it be nice to acknowledge the actual men and women in the military who are responsible, but that's why this will backfire for Obama, he's trying to politicize something that he shouldn't. His involvement is trivial.
